Well, I did it again. Another American Slicing Machine came up for sale on ebay, this one is already disassembled and partially cleaned thus saving me lots of work. It is a model 52, a little older than the one I already have with some notable differences: all of the trays are chrome plated...

I often do not sell overseas because it is a pain to fill out the customs forms. Plus if the item is bigger, shipping goes way up in price and ebay's shipping calculator doesn't calculate international shipping accurately. This leads to another pain: manually calculating shipping for several...

This looks really good! I have never seen a big can of clam juice locally, only 6oz. bottles.

The DMV in Bryan, Texas had one in their break room the last time I was there back in college in 1999.   Here is another odd one: last month I took delivery of a late 40s or early 50s Firestone upright freezer. The data tag says Firestone Tire and Rubber.

I've made it with mushrooms, I highly recommend it.

Thanks Louis. I watched a few other videos too. The ones I saw were good at teaching the technique but they were mainly trying to sell their mix.

In addition to refrigerated truck trailers, I've heard big walk-in commercial refrigerators called reefers too, especially when I was in the Army.

I just purchased an old cast iron Griswold Æbleskiver pan on ebay. Does anyone here have a good recipe for Æbleskiver batter? When shipping is included, the price to mail order is just too high.  We members of AW.org have such a wonderful and diverse background plus we have many international...

vacbear58 I hand mash my potatoes using my mom's old hand masher. I came across that recipe years ago watching a cooking show, it was around St. Patrick's Day so I'll bet they were doing an "Irish Week" but I don't recall. It is the only way I make mashed potatoes now: If I'm going through the...

I've always called this smothered steak. Made a bunch last winter using a cast iron skillet when I bought a 1/4 steer from a friend who is a rancher - organic grass-fed beef, YUM! My take on mashed potatoes: Chop a bundle of scallions and simmer in a cup and a half of milk. Boil seven or so...

Nice site! I liked the garage door opener article. I have a circa 1957 Alliance garage door radio system, it is just missing the vibrator. There is a Genie garage door opener in my garage that it can work with, but the motor is stuck: it just clicks when I press the button. I've been meaning to...

Well, I don't know a lot of old defunct brands but here are a few that have been around for 100 years or so, you might find vintage tap handles out there: Shiner Lone Star Pearl Anchor Steam Iron City I have a Coleman plastic ice chest that I converted to a beer dispenser. It has a coil of...

There are quite a few of these in existance but I doubt anyone knows how many. This is one of the most sought after 1950s era fridges so prices can be rather high. As far as the best price range for you, that is entirely dependant upon you circumstances and ability to do some of the restoration...

I became interested in vintage appliances in college. As I've gotten older (and I mean starting in my teens and twenties to now - forties) I have gained an appreciation for the styling and durability of older cars, furnishings, and appliances. I bought a 1952 GE Combo fridge at auction for $2.50...

No history to my china, my family didn't have anything special. I bought mine in 2008 simply because I liked it and the price was not bad (the economy had just gone bust): Hutschenreuther Revere produced from 1958 to 1988. I have a complete 12 place set with most serving pieces.

Launderess, I am one of those who use the sterling for special occasions and not daily. But, I do use the cream soup spoons whenever I make gumbo, bisque, and cream soups. I don't have any stainless versions so I use the sterling. This type of spoon is so much nicer than a regular spoon for...

I have two sets of stainless I bought at Walmart 10 or so years ago and they have held up just fine. I also have 4 place settings of Oneida Act II that I got from my mom, the matte finish seems to be prone to scratching. For sterling, I have 10 place settings plus several serving pieces of...

Sold out All of the bulbs have now been sold. I hope everyone here who bought them will have years of enjoyment from them.
